Jefferson County Trail - December
Thursday MTB Ride Notes (last Thursday):
Overall the loop trail was easily passable, little to no snow. The snow is worst in the wooded spots, which seems strange because these are usually have the least snow. JC Park is in similar condition, quite passable. The main problem is the pedestrian pack-down (rhymes with Friday Night Smack-Down). It makes for a rougher ride, but it's not bad right now, because there is very little snow on the ground (except for 2 or 3 drifts on the Northern ridgeline of the loop trail).
As an aside, I'd like to say I'm impressed with the amount of pedestrian traffic that has passed over several quite cold days. The loop trail and JC Park are very popular and well used.
A loop trail bonus is the Southern cross (Lambson wood to cedar view trail, paralleling the 34 by-pass). Almost no difference from normal. Pristine and fast, negligible snow, excellent traction.
Southern Cross Hint -- if it's seriously cold, then just take the direction which gives you a tail wind; you'll stay quite warm and get 3 primo hills. Five stars.
Ride Safe!

On the road.
If you have a flat...
...it may as well be with a view like this.
Lake Hodges, Del Dios Highway, North County San Diego. This evening at twilight.
Training for Mt. Palomar, pray for me.

Amish Services
One of the many sites that we see while biking. Out of respect for the Amish, we have not photographed them personally. Rather their accoutrement s.

Feist Double Century 2010
175 miles of headwind and only 3 hours of rain. A perfect day.
"The Angel of Mercy" Sandy came out and brought much appreciated
supplies and moral support to our struggling effort. Tom joined us in
Stockport to assure we didn't fall over pedaling home, and Dania drove
out to document the event with film. 23 hours total, possibly a new
record, and 24 is the legal limit. Thank you all for your support, and
I wish you all could have seen the parade they had waiting at
Bushnell.
Let's ride,
Jeff
